In my subjective perception, many apps that could just be websites, and that are often basically wrappers around a rendering engine (cross platform apps) only consume a lot of storage without considerable gain in usability. But they cause shorter <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/smartphone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smartphone</span></a> life times as the internal storages become to small for all wanted apps. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SoftwareSustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SoftwareSustainability</span></a></p>
